Indian Cricket Team is on a roll at the moment after winning back to back 2 matches in T20 World Cup 2022. The Men in Blue are now one step closer to making it to the knock-out stages. Virat Kohli has been in sublime touch as the right-handed batter has scored consecutive half-centuries and is looking unstoppable.

The management would be aware that South Africa would be a steep challenge. The Proteas are coming back off a terrific win against Bangladesh and are looking threatening. The peculiarity of South Africa is that they are not dependent on a single individual to perform which makes them a force to reckon with.

Axar Patel on India vs South Africa

Axar was asked about the upcoming match against South Africa. “We will plan about it. We will play our normal brand of Cricket we have been playing without worrying about the bouncy pitches and the fact that they have bowlers like Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada. We also have our Virat bhai (Kohli) in form,” said Axar

Exciting Contest on Cards

The battle of India vs South Africa would be quite enthralling as both teams are evenly matched. There are chances that Rishabh Pant may get a game as he is someone who could be lethal against the speedsters. Indian pacers may not have that express pace like Rabada and Nortje but they are quite impeccable with their line and lengths.

South Africa on the other hand would be banking on Rilee Rossouw as he smashed a fantastic century against Bangladesh. The left-handed batter is a silent assassin who can change the dynamics of the match in a couple of overs. South Africa would be worried about the form of skipper Temba Bavuma as his form has gone from bad to worse.
